Every Fifth Day

Title Track

Jake Peavy was excellent again. He threw more pitches than I like to see, but it's hard to pull him when he's as dominant as he was. As long as he avoids injury, I'll be happy. Anyway, the line for today's game:

9.0 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 10 K, 0 HR (0.00 ERA)

And the defense independent line:

8.24 IP, 5.73 H, 2.23 BB, 9.93 K, 0.00 HR (1.99 ERA)

I guess he was mildly lucky, but we'll take it.

Edit: Also, this game brought Jake up to an absolutely stupid .299 K/PA.

Free Xavier Nady

Nady hit an absolute bomb to dead center today. Play him every day! He plays five positions. He hits lefties better than any of the five guys at those positions and hits righties better than three of them. There's room.
